Flint, Michigan – Excitement is building in Flint, Michigan, as Five Below gears up for its grand opening at a new location this Friday, February 9th, 2024. After several years at its previous spot-on Miller Road in Flint Township, the popular discount retailer has made the move to Linden Road, promising a fresh shopping experience for its loyal customers.
New, better location for Five Below in Flint
Located in Oak Brook Square, near beloved stores such as TJ Maxx, Hobby Lobby, and Buffalo Wild Wings, the new Five Below has already been drawing attention with its vibrant remodeling activities observed by passersby over the last few months. Tracey Tucker, Flint Township’s Economic Enhancement Director, highlighted the move, signaling a significant development for the area’s retail landscape.

The store, known for offering a wide range of items priced at $5 or below, has not only relocated but is also already welcoming shoppers ahead of its official grand opening. The move to the bustling shopping district next to Plato’s Closet, marked by the unmistakable giant blue Five Below sign, is seen as a strategic one that will cater to the diverse needs of Flint’s savvy shoppers.
In addition to opening its doors, the new Five Below location is also looking to expand its team and is currently in the process of hiring. This presents a great opportunity for job seekers in the area to become part of a growing national retailer.
But the expansion doesn’t stop here. Following the trend of retail growth in the region, similar to Ross Dress for Less, which has opened new locations in Grand Blanc and Burton, Five Below is also constructing a second new store in the area.
This new addition is set to be located at the Grand Blanc Marketplace, taking over renovated space along Saginaw Road at Holly Road. Although this project is still under construction, it signifies Five Below’s commitment to serving the southern part of Genesee County, with an opening date to be announced in the future.
